Is there anything in the democrat party that isn't a crisis?

[JoeB131]

Yes. There are folks on this forum that would literally be lit up with radiation and STILL say Biden was a great president. As I said on another thread.

Says the Islamophobic twat who looked at Plagues, Riots and Recession in 2020 and thought "Wow, is Trump doing awesome or what?"

 

[rightwinger]

Sure. You had Trump to unify you and cover up the glaring craters in your party. But you elected Biden, a disaster. You run everything---another moving disaster.

I don't need to make a case for this; the case makes itself. Look at the polls. Listen to your own people

Sorry Sue

But your claims are so partisan it is embarrassing
Trump was a disaster as President
Arguably the worst in History

His worst legacy is how he demeaned the Office of the Presidency

 

[eagle1462010]

Yep. US oil production more than doubled during the Obama years because the ppb was high enough to justify investment. Do you actually think that COVID was a globalist plot? Seek help... You have raging paranoia.

You have selective memory.............As the oil companies had to SUE HIM TO GET PERMITS.

So you ARE A LIAR.

Just a whole bunch more heard it..........and leftist like you are emotional creatures.

Trump was an embarrassment to this country

Worse than his behavior was his inept leadership during COVID and his attempt to overthrow our Democracy after he lost

You just keep parroting the gov't narrative..........over and over and over again..........No one believes you.......Only your leftist sheep believe you,

Covid was BS and the reaction was BS...........Attempting to force the jab was BS.............

I'll just start calling you RUNNING BULL from now on.

Nope. He did quash Deepwater drilling in the Gulf after what BP did. They have always been a for shit oil company.
BP basically mocked safety regulations. You dy know much about the oil business. During the Obama years the US rig count was higher than it had been in 44 years

 

[Esdraelon]

Never let a crisis go to waste....OK, but when everything is a crisis people start calling BS a lot quicker.

Wait for a few more months when people actually begin to have trouble feeding their kids.

 

[Esdraelon]

Most Trump Crisis were self inflicted

Nonsense. ALL of them were generated by the media 5th column. Compared to what we've seen since your party stole an election, Trump's time seems like a golden age, and this November you're going to see that A LOT more than just Trump's supporters think the same.

As you deny he was held in contempt of court over permits......Permits that were not BP.

As you also deny the ban on fracking that was fought over as well.

Permits from hell..........same as the EPA under Obama 2.0 now.

The fact is the oil companies have to sue the Biden Admin for permits again..........as your LIARS say look at all the LEASES.

LIES STACKED ON LIES FROM YOUR PARTY.

You ARE A PACK OF LIARS.

 

[j-mac]

Trump
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Boebert
Gaetz

All great for Democrat fund raising

Only because you people believe the lies propagated within your own echo chamber, and try to repeat them in here daily...

Libs are among the dumbest, most easily duped people on the planet....

Biden signed more permits in the first 3 months than Trump signed in his first year. Fracking isn't the answer for most US wells because most wells produce less than 50 barrels a day. That's why we still use to pumps or maybe you call them jack pumps. Our production emissions are nothing to brag about either.

 

[SweetSue92]

Trump's rally in Commerce, Georgia was a dud.

I'm not mad about it. He was a great president, but his time is probably past.

 

[SweetSue92]

You might be lit up with radiation and you will still be crying about "behavior"

You're more of an uptight schoolmarm than I am. It's hilarious tbh

 

[Uncensored2008]

Donald J Trump is a great fundraiser for Democrats

The other TRUMP Republicans are almost as good

Then why is your fundraising for the Reich in the toilet?

 

[Moonglow]

Increasing oil production to 17 million barrels a day is SCARY TO YOU HUH............Time to burn the country to the ground.

LOOK AT THIS PHOTGRAPH

By 2020 it was down to 11.28 billion a day but you want to blame Biden for the oil production drop.

'Republicans have a ton of baggage' as they try to distance themselves from Trump's Putin praise​

According to a report from CNN, Republican plans to coast to big victories in the 2022 midterms have been thrown into disarray after Russian President Vladimir Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has changed the political calculus.

While Republicans had planned to run on complaints about inflation and culture war ranting -- a staple of GOP political campaigns -- the attack on Ukraine combined with Donald Trump's praise of the Russian strongman is casting a shadow over Republicans who will be on the ballot.
The report notes that Republican face a choice "over whether to remain in lockstep with Trump – who has described Putin as 'smart' and 'savvy' in remarks before and during the invasion --or to unreservedly criticize the Russian leader."
"Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has sought to downplay intra-party tensions, saying on CBS Sunday that the 'vast majority of the Republican Party writ large, both in Congress and across the country, are totally behind the Ukrainians and urging the president to take these steps quicker, to be bolder,'" CNN's Gregory Kreig and Eric Bradner wrote. "Democrats, though, see opportunities to pounce, pointing to Trump’s long history of praise for Putin and the former President’s attempt to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to produce political ammunition targeting Hunter Biden in exchange for already congressionally approved military aid – a move that ultimately led to his first impeachment."

According to one California Democratic candidate, Republicans running for office have some explaining to do.
“The Republicans have a ton of baggage when it comes to their worship of Vladimir Putin,” Jay Chen, a Naval Navy Reserve intelligence officer running in California’s 45th congressional district explained.
With the CNN report noting his district is home "Little Saigon and large Vietnamese and Taiwanese populations," the candidate elaborated, "I mean, that’s what they fled to escape. And the Republican Party is embracing it and only haltingly turning away from it when they get called out. I think this will last through November because we’re dealing with a situation where there are no good options for Russia, and if Russia were to succeed, they’d only succeed through more carnage, more violence.”
With that in mind, the CNN report also notes candidates like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are also providing fodder for Democrats when it comes to Ukraine.
"GOP leadership has been unified in denouncing the invasion and calling for a more aggressive strategy from the White House. But some lawmakers rooted in the party’s Trumpist grassroots have veered from those talking points and, in expressing concern over deeper US involvement in Ukraine, falsely claimed its democratically elected government' 'only exists because the Obama State Department helped to overthrow the previous regime,'" the report states. "The comment, in a video posted by Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who also suggested blame for the war rested with both Russia and Ukraine, was met with a sharp rebuke from Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, one of the few Republicans eager to denounce her party’s right-wing flamethrowers and the frequent target of former President Donald Trump who is now facing a primary challenge."

That's what generally happens when a person or group doesn't know what they're doing. They create crises. In a little over a year, Biden has already rewritten the book on causing crises.

Your trolling is off a bit idiot........billion

The lock downs dropped it.........and using what increased that to 2019 would be the policy for recovery.

Jan. 20, 2021 DOI issues Secretarial Order No. 3395, announcing that the agency is temporarily suspending its authority to issue any onshore or offshore fossil fuel authorizations, including new lease sales, for 60 days.
Jan. 20, 2021 In Executive Order 13990, President Biden revokes the Trump Executive Order 13783 titled “Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth.” EO 13783 directed federal agencies to streamline the oil and gas leasing process and suspend, revise, or rescind regulations that burdened the development of domestic energy resources.
Jan. 27, 2021 President Biden signs Executive Order 14008, which pauses all new federal offshore and onshore oil and gas leasing pending a comprehensive review of the leasing and permitting program. The order also revokes Trump’s EO 13795.
March 15, 2021 The Biden administration asks the Ninth Circuit to dismiss the case reviewing President Obama’s withdrawing certain Arctic and Atlantic coastal areas from oil and gas leasing in light of President Biden revoking President Trump’s EO 13795 (the EO challenged in this case). The Biden administration asks the court to vacate the lower court ruling and remand with instructions to dismiss the case. League of Conservation Voters v. Trump, No. 19-35460 (9th Cir.).
March 24, 2021 Louisiana and twelve other states file a lawsuit challenging President Biden’s pause on new federal oil and gas lease sales arguing that the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) and the current 5-year Leasing Program prohibit the moratorium. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
April 13, 2021 The Ninth Circuit dismisses the appeal of the March 29, 2019 decision by a federal judge to reinstate President Obama’s withdrawals of Arctic and Atlantic areas from oil and gas leasing because President Biden’s Executive Order 13990 revoking Trump’s EO 13795 rendered the appeal moot. League of Conservation Voters v. Trump, No. 19-35460 (9th Cir.).
June 15, 2021 A federal judge in the Western District of Louisiana issues a preliminary injunction blocking President Biden’s pause on oil and gas lease sales. The court holds that the leasing moratorium violates statutory authority given to DOI, the Bureau of Land Management, and BOEM under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the current 5-year leasing program. The judge further holds that the immediate impact of the pause renders the preliminary injunction an appropriate remedy and that the DOI may not continue to pause upcoming Lease Sales 257 or 258. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 9, 2021 Plaintiff states file a motion asking the court to order Lease Sale 257 and asking the federal government to show why its failure to make the sale does not put it in contempt of the preliminary injunction. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 16, 2021 The Biden administration appeals the preliminary injunction that blocked the moratorium on new federal oil and gas leasing. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 24, 2021 DOI announces that it will continue to prepare lease sales during the appeal process.
Aug. 24, 2021 The Department of Justice (DOJ) files a memorandum in response to the plaintiff states’ August 9 motion. DOJ argues that DOI had restarted the leasing program and was therefore complying with the preliminary injunction. DOJ further argues that the preliminary injunction did not require the Lease Sale to occur on any timeline, and the government was therefore entitled to complete a new environmental review. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Aug. 31, 2021 Environmental groups file a lawsuit challenging DOI’s decision to hold Lease Sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico, seeking vacatur and injunction of the sale. The groups argue that the sale of Lease 257 violates the NEPA and the APA and estimate that the sale “will result in the production of up to 1.12 billion barrels and 4.4 trillion cubic feet of fossil fuels over the next 50 years.” Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 1:21-cv-02317 (D.D.C.).
Sept. 17, 2021 Plaintiff states withdraw their motion to compel Lease Sale 257. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 2:21-CV-00778 (W.D. La.).
Oct. 4, 2021 BOEM publishes a notice in the federal register that it will open and publicly announce bids received for oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico Outercontinental Gas Lease Sale 257 on Nov. 17, 2021.
Oct. 29, 2021 BOEM publishes a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for Lease Sale 258, which would offer leasing for oil and gas in Cook Inlet in the Gulf of Alaska. BOEM also announces a 45-day public comment period on the DEIS.
Nov. 17, 2021 BOEM holds its largest sale ever, the Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 257 for 308 tracts, covering 1.07 million acres of federal waters in the Gulf. In approving the sale, the DOI claimed it was acting “consistent with a U.S. District Court’s preliminary injunction.” However, environmental groups argue that this sale was not required by the June 15 preliminary injunction. These groups contend that by not conducting a new environmental review like the DOJ memo suggested was allowed, the federal government sped up the lease sale and worked against its decarbonization goals.
Nov. 26, 2021 DOI issues a report reviewing the federal oil and gas leasing process and making recommendations for reform. The report finds, among other things, that the current system does not give taxpayers fair returns and does not fully account for environmental harm, and that the current system encourages speculation by and decreases competition among oil companies. The report outlines recommendations to fix these problems and concludes that DOI is deciding how it will act on these recommendations and encourages Congress to pass reforms to the oil and gas leasing process.
Dec. 3, 2021 Democratic members of the House Committee on Natural Resources file an amicus brief in support of environmental groups challenging the Gulf of Mexico lease sale, arguing that the administration’s environmental review “substantially underestimates” the environmental harms of the lease sale. The brief also argues that the nationwide injunction issued by the District Court for the Western District of Louisiana “in no way excused” DOI’s obligations under NEPA and the APA. Friends of the Earth, et al., v. Haaland, et al., No. 21-cv-02317-RC (D.D.C.).
Jan. 19, 2022 Over 360 environmental groups sent a legal petition to the Biden administration to reduce oil and gas drilling to 98% lower than current levels by 2035. The petition explains that, without action, it will be difficult for the United States to keep its pledge to keep global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5℃.
Jan. 20, 2022 Over 80 environmental organizations sign and send a letter to the Biden administration, which urges the Department of the Interior to write a new 5-year Offshore Lease Program that bans lease sales starting in 2022. The letter also calls on Secretary Haaland to repudiate Lease Sale 257.
Jan. 27, 2022 The District Court for the District of Columbia blocks Lease Sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico because the Department of the Interior failed to take a “hard look” at the environmental impact of the project or to account for the effect of overseas fossil fuel use when calculating climate impacts, which violated the National Environmental Policy Act. Friends of the Earth, et al., v. Haaland, et al., No. 21-cv-02317-RC (D.D.C.). For more background on the ruling, see EELP’s overview of the NEPA Review Process or visit our NEPA Tracker Page for the most up to date review requirements.
Feb. 1, 2022 The Department of the Interior mistakenly posted language on its oil and gas webpage that indicated royalty fees for leases would increase to 18.75%. The Department later removed the language, and a spokesperson for the Department said the decision to increase royalty rates was not yet final.
Feb. 8, 2022 Intervenor defendant, the American Petroleum Institute files a notice of appeal with the D.C. Circuit, challenging the D.C District Court’s decision to block Lease Sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico. Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 1:21-cv-02317 (D.D.C.).
Feb. 14, 2022 Louisiana, another intervenor defendant, files a notice of appeal in the D.C. Circuit case that blocked Lease Sale 257. Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 22-05037 (D.C. Cir).
Feb. 14, 2022 The Biden administration asks the 5th Circuit to reverse the Western District of Louisiana’s decision that blocked the Biden administration’s moratorium on new oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters. Among other issues, the Biden administration argues that Biden’s Executive Order 14008 is both lawful and unreviewable and that the plaintiffs relied on erroneous interpretations of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the Mineral Leasing Act. Louisiana v. Biden, Docket No. 21-30505 (5th Cir.)
Feb. 18, 2022 Environmental groups file a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction in the D.C. Circuit case that blocked Lease Sale 257. Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 22-05037 (D.C. Cir).
Feb. 22, 2022 A federal judge in the Western District of Louisiana blocks the Biden administration’s application of an interim social cost of carbon metric., Louisiana v. Biden, No. 21-cv-01074 (W.D. La.). For updates on the metric and this litigation, see our Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases tracker page. In light of this decision, the Biden administration announces that it will delay decisions on new oil and gas drilling on federal lands.
Feb. 28, 2022 The Biden administration announces that it will not appeal the District Court’s decision that canceled Lease Sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico. Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 1:21-cv-02317 (D.D.C.).
Mar. 8, 2022 The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denies an emergency motion by American Petroleum Institute to expedite the appeal of the District Court decision that canceled Lease Sale 257. Friends of the Earth, et al. v. Haaland, et al., Docket No. 22-05037 (D.C. Cir).
